Title: Howzabout an Elton/Billy Joel-style duet show but with Brian and Van Dyke......

......in which they perform each other's songs, with an emphasis on SMiLE, Song Cycle and TLOS. Wondermints and Stockholm Strings of course. Well I can dream!

I would love to see a sit down at the piano with Brian and Van Dyke just chatting and playing some tunes. The recording of them jamming on H&V in the Endless Harmony disc is one of my favorite tracks ever. Listen to it all the time, I can probably recite it verbatim.

I love the bonus interview on the BWPS DVD where Van Dyke interviews Brian for a while. Brian even plays a few 'feels' of some songs on the piano. Good stuff.

It would be nice to see a new century collaboration between Brian and Van Dyke. I think both men would bring a different perspective to life today than they did 44 years ago. Doesn`t have to be a concept album, just a collection of songs.

I think we'd all like to forget that one.

Hey I like it.... what's wrong with rhyming "angora sweater" with "forget her"?   ::)
